Film study of the artistic practice of actionism as a collision of contemporary art with everyday reality. The film examines the historical background of the genre and its continuity in the modern cultural process. The plot is based on the history of the Pussy Riot group. The film shows that actionism, as a phenomenon, is at the intersection of art, history and politics. In the Pussy Riot action, one can see the continuation of the tradition of Russian holy fools who were not afraid to tell the hard truth even to tsars. The art of the Russian avant-garde drew its inspiration from icon painting, and the Suprematist images of Kazimir Malevich can be seen in the bright clothes of Pussy Riot.
